Fukui Castle, Mountain fortress in Ibaraki, Japan

The castle stands at the summit of a hill, incorporating multiple defensive structures and stone foundations that form part of its military design.

Records indicate the castle started operating by 1528 and maintained its position as a strategic installation until its destruction by fire in 1657.

The castle represents traditional Japanese military architecture with its honmaru central structure and extended fortification system on elevated terrain.

Visitors can examine the remaining stone foundations and structural elements that indicate the original layout of this former military compound.

The castle occupies a plateau position that provided natural protection and allowed defenders to monitor movements across the surrounding landscape.
